    THE BETTER LIGHT BULB

    New Study Shines Light on Top Ten LED Reflector Bulbs
    February 2012 (Institute for Electric Efficiency)

    "New efficiency standards for light bulbs are now in effect, but how do consumers and facility managers know which bulb is best? When it comes to choosing an LED (light emitting diode) reflector bulb, the job just got a whole lot easier.

    "The Institute for Electric Efficiency (IEE) commissioned the energy and sustainability management firm Ecova to determine
    the ten best LED reflector bulbs on the market today…"

    "By 'best,' the study sought to measure not only an LED reflector bulb’s energy-related qualities—its energy efficiency, payback period, and lifetime cost savings—but also how it compared with a halogen incandescent reflector bulb in both its light quality (warmth) and its dimming capability. In other words, the study focused on “consumer friendly” and efficient LEDs.

    "The overall winning bulb? Technical Consumer Products’ 17-watt LED PAR (parabolic aluminized reflector) 38 bulb. In comparison with an equivalent 90-watt PAR38 halogen incandescent bulb, this LED bulb offers a lifetime cost savings of $200, produces a soft, warm light similar to a halogen incandescent and dims smoothly. At a cost of $42, the LED bulb has a payback period of 4.1 years and an estimated useful life of 23 years. All ten recommended bulbs will save the consumer money and energy, with lifetime cost savings ranging from $72 to $200…"
